All of these factors can influence the average rate of return on stocks an investor realizes.<\/p>\n<p>Seemingly unconnected financial factors, like increasing trade tariffs between two nations, can impact the valuation of certain stocks in an interconnected economy. Since the stock market is volatile, it is at times influenced by emerging global events and sudden changes in the prices of goods that are available to US consumers and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at a single stock \u2014 say, an airline stock \u2014 as an example, then applying that knowledge to the stock market at large, may help investors understand the fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25525623 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner-1-1.png 970w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner-1-1-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner-1-1-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner-1-1-750x193.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"factors-impact-stock-market\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_that_Impact_the_Stock_Market\"><\/span><strong>Factors that Impact the Stock Market<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Numerous factors affect the value of stocks and the average return on stocks for investors.<\/p>\n<p>To continue with the airline example, the U.S. airline industry relies, in part, on leisure travelers\u2019 discretionary spending \u2014 consumers opting to pay for flights that they do not need to take. When trade wars lead to less available money in Americans consumers\u2019 pockets (i.e., certain taxed imports suddenly costing more), the market can react out of fear of future declines in sales or concern for the increasing cost of doing business. This is called market sentimentality, which can negatively affect a stock\u2019s value.<\/p>\n<p>When the US increased duties on Chinese metal imports, China reacted by levying tariffs on US exports. The 2019 announcement of retaliatory tariffs by China on the U.S.\u2014 impacting American-made goods like appliances, agriculture, construction equipment, textiles, and rubber \u2014 led to a one-day loss of $1 trillion in global stocks\u2019 value.<\/p>\n<p>As multiple companies\u2019 share prices fluctuate simultaneously, the stock market as a whole can swing up or down. If a trade war affects various companies\u2019 production overseas or consumer\u2019s ability to spend domestically, numerous big businesses\u2019 shares could drop, and the public could become uncertain about the U.S. economy. As a result, the market could dip. When tariffs on imports and exports ease, some stocks can rise\u2014as traders anticipate reduced costs passed on to consumers and to businesses.<\/p>\n<p>All this fluctuation affects stock market returns. When people wonder what their return will be, they\u2019re asking how much they will have gained (or lost) in a year, or 10, 20, or 30 years. While everyone invests in different stocks and funds, a simple way to estimate how much they might gain is by looking at the average stock market return.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"measuring-growth-stock-market\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Measuring_Growth_in_the_Stock_Market\"><\/span><strong>Measuring Growth in the Stock Market<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do people measure stock market returns? By looking at indexes. An index is a group of stocks that represents a section of the stock market, and there are roughly 5,000 indexes representing US stocks. Investors may be familiar with the three most popular\u00a0market indexes: The Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq Composite, and S&amp;P 500.<\/p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 index represents the 500 largest publicly traded companies, such as Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Alphabet. It speaks for around 80% of the US stock market, so its performance is considered a good indicator of how the market is doing overall.<\/p>\n<p>When people refer to the stock market and the average stock market return, they\u2019re likely referring to the S&amp;P 500.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"good-yearly-return\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Good_Yearly_Return_on_Stocks\"><\/span><strong>What Is a Good Yearly Return on Stocks?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When discussing the average rate of return on stocks and what you can expect, it\u2019s important to be realistic. As mentioned, the stock market average return tends to hover around 10%, though when you factor in inflation, stock market returns tend to be closer to 6%.<\/p>\n<p>Using the 6% figure as a baseline, an investor might choose to construct a portfolio that\u2019s designed to produce that level of returns. If you\u2019re invested in funds that track the S&amp;P 500, then you\u2019re more likely to realize stock market returns that fall within the average or typical range. Anything above 6% might be considered icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<p>If an investor is looking for above-average stock market returns, they might choose to take a more aggressive approach to building a portfolio, by looking at\u00a0actively managed funds\u00a0or momentum trading, for example, to try to capitalize on higher return potential. But those strategies can entail greater risk \u2014 and as always, there\u2019s no guarantee that an investor will beat the market. Plus, active trading may mean paying higher expense ratios or commissions, which can eat into investment gains.<\/p>\n<p>Using a\u00a0buy-and-hold strategy\u00a0and staying investing when the market moves up or down may help an investor realize consistent returns over time. With\u00a0dollar-cost averaging, for instance, one would continue adding money to the market regardless of how high or low stock prices go. In doing so, they\u2019d be able to ride the waves of the market as stock market returns increase or decrease, though they may not beat the market this way.<\/p>\n<p>Taking this attitude can help an investor avoid falling into the trap of panic-selling when market volatility sets in. This is important because getting out of the market \u2014 or into it \u2014 at the wrong time could significantly impact a portfolio\u2019s overall return profile.<\/p>\n<div class=\"FTDQoV\">\n<h2 class=\"_2HGwPY _7LUqYM _2GMChG _1VhA5C\" data-currency=\"Text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_expect_the_stock_market_to_return\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"_2HGwPY _7LUqYM _2GMChG _3-to_p\">What to expect the stock market to return<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"FTDQoV\">\n<p class=\"_2GMChG _3-to_p\"><span class=\"_2GMChG _3-to_p\">There are no guarantees in the market, but this 10% average has held remarkably steady for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"FTDQoV\">\n<p class=\"_2GMChG _3-to_p\"><span class=\"_2GMChG _3-to_p\">So what kind of return can investors reasonably expect today from the stock market?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"FTDQoV\">\n<p class=\"_2GMChG _3-to_p\"><span class=\"_2GMChG _3-to_p\">The answer to that depends a lot on what\u2019s happened in the recent past. But here\u2019s a simple rule of thumb: The higher the recent returns, the lower the future returns, and vice versa. Generally speaking, if you&#8217;re estimating how much your stock-market investment will return over time, we suggest using an average annual return of 6% and understanding that you&#8217;ll experience down years as well as up years.

The S&amp;P 500 is a collection &#8212; referred to as a\u00a0stock market index\u00a0&#8212; of just over 500 of the largest publicly traded U.S. companies. (The list is updated every quarter with major changes annually.) While there are thousands more stocks trading on U.S. stock exchanges, the S&amp;P 500 comprises about 80% of the entire stock market value on its own, making it a useful proxy for the performance of the\u00a0stock market\u00a0as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>The market&#8217;s results from one year to the next can vary significantly from the average. Let&#8217;s use the 2012-2021 period as an example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Down 4.4%: 1 year<\/li>\n<li>Up 2% or less: 1 year<\/li>\n<li>Up more than 20%: 4 years<\/li>\n<li>Up between 12% and 19%: 4 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To put it another way, six of those 10 years resulted in outcomes that were very different from the 14.8% annualized average return over that decade. Of those six very different years, two generated significantly lower returns (with one year, 2018, resulting in losses), while four years delivered substantially\u00a0<em>higher\u00a0<\/em>returns. Two of those years &#8212; 2013 and 2019 &#8212; generated returns of more than 30%, helping to make up for the years that saw below-average returns.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>10-year, 30-year, and 50-year average stock market returns\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the stock market&#8217;s average annualized returns over the past 10, 30, and 50 years, using the S&amp;P 500 as our proxy for the market.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\u00a0Period<\/th>\n<th>Annualized Return (Nominal)<\/th>\n<th>Annualized Real Return (Adjusted for Inflation)<\/th>\n<th>$1 Becomes&#8230; (Nominal)<\/th>\n<th>$1 Becomes&#8230; (Adjusted for Inflation)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"114\">10 years (2012-2021)<\/td>\n<td width=\"124\">14.8%<\/td>\n<td width=\"137\">12.4%<\/td>\n<td width=\"90\">$3.79<\/td>\n<td width=\"149\">$3.06<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"114\">30 years (1992-2021)<\/td>\n<td width=\"124\">9.9%<\/td>\n<td width=\"137\">7.3%<\/td>\n<td width=\"90\">$11.43<\/td>\n<td width=\"149\">$5.65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"114\">50 years (1972-2021)<\/td>\n<td width=\"124\">9.4%<\/td>\n<td width=\"137\">5.4%<\/td>\n<td width=\"90\">$46.69<\/td>\n<td width=\"149\">$6.88<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth highlighting the variance in annual returns from one year to the next versus the average. Since 1972, here is a breakdown of the yearly results:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Returns of 20% or more: 19 years<\/li>\n<li>Returns between 10% and 20%: 13 years<\/li>\n<li>Returns between 0% and 10%: nine years<\/li>\n<li>Losses between 0% and 10%: four years<\/li>\n<li>Losses between 10% and 20%: two years<\/li>\n<li>Losses of more than 20%: three years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Stock market returns vs. inflation\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to showing the average returns, the table above also shows useful information on stock returns adjusted for\u00a0inflation. For example, $1 invested in 1972 would be worth $46.69 today.<\/p>\n<p>But, in spending power, $46 isn&#8217;t worth what it would have been in 1972. Adjusting for inflation, that $46 will buy the same amount of goods or services you would have been able to buy with $6.88 in 1972.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Buy-and-hold investing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If there&#8217;s any one lesson we can take from the breakdown of annual results versus the average, it&#8217;s that investors are far more likely to earn the best returns by\u00a0investing for the long term. There&#8217;s simply no reliably accurate way to predict which years will be the good years and which years will underperform or even lead to losses.<\/p>\n<p>But we\u00a0<em>do<\/em>\u00a0know that, historically, the stock market has gone up more years than it has gone down. The S&amp;P 500 gained value in 40 of the past 50 years, generating an average annualized return of 9.4%. Despite that, only a handful of years actually came within a few percentage points of the actual average. Far more years significantly either\u00a0<em>underperformed<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0<em>outperformed<\/em>\u00a0the average than were close to the average.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-11\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Inflation_Affects_S_P_500_Returns\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\">How Inflation Affects S&amp;P 500 Returns<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-12\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\">One of the major problems for an investor hoping to regularly recreate that 10.67% average return is\u00a0inflation. Adjusted for inflation, the historical average annual return is only around 7%.\u00a0There is an additional problem posed by the question of whether that inflation-adjusted average is accurate, since the adjustment is done using the inflation figures from the\u00a0Consumer Price Index\u00a0(CPI), whose numbers some analysts believe vastly understate the true inflation rate.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"stock-market-growth-predictions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Future_Stock_Market_Growth_Predictions\"><\/span><strong>Future Stock Market Growth Predictions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we can see from the outliers during the dot-com bust and financial crisis, when the stock market performs poorly, it tends to eventually bounce back. Similarly, if the stock market does exceptionally well, the market will eventually slow down and experience a loss. This can help with evening out the average return on stocks for investors.<\/p>\n<p>The widely accepted rule is that if an investor\u2019s rate of return is low now, they can expect it to be high in the future; if their rate of return is high now, they can expect it to be low in the future. Historically, the market balances out and experiences positive growth overall. Stock market returns increase around 70% of the time.<\/p>\n<p>When share prices peak, then drop by 10% or more, that\u2019s known as a\u00a0stock market correction. If the market is doing swimmingly, investors can bet the market will correct itself by dipping.<\/p>\n<p>All investments have risk, so there\u2019s no way to guarantee a certain stock market return at all, let alone in a specific time frame. Numerous factors affect stocks\u2019 performance, so it can be difficult to accurately predict how a stock will perform. And anyone who tells investors they can\u00a0time the stock market\u00a0to maximize returns is dead wrong.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"whats-a-good-stock-market-return\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_a_Good_Stock_Market_Return\"><\/span><strong>What&#8217;s a Good Stock Market Return?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A good stock market return is the long-term average of 10%.
